Visual options

Yesterday, we came to the conclusion concerning a bug in our software. Let's not go into details for you non-developers, but let's say that Win XP's max paths of 256 digits and the default placement of clickonce files does not work very well for us. So, different options were discussed and solutions were flying around the wall. Then we said, hey, let's put everything on the whiteboard. We had three major options and three developers. The developers became Mr Hermit, Mr Math and Mr Zip, all responsible for one of the options. Describing them, the pros and cons. Actually, when they finished printing everything on their whiteboard, all had agreed on one of the solutions. Love whiteboards, love visualizing options. Love committed developers. Love conclusions which all can agree on.
